We tried reaching you on a private message asking for the Service Tag number to ascertain the warranty but did not receive a response. Please feel free to reply to the private message whenever you are available.
I would recommend you get a keyboard replacement. Or send it to a shop and ask them to replace it for you. It could be a software issue as well and I hope it’s that for you. I would recommend you download this:
Ok but could you please try redownloading the link I posted in my reply to see if that makes even a difference because it says it helps the devices communicate with the bios better. And if it doesn’t then it seems to be a loose connection and maybe a faulty keyboard.
I feel bad for you but all I can recommend is if you go to a microcenter or BestBuy near you to install a new keyboard. or you could yourself replace the keyboard with a compatible model or re-seat the cable itself and make sure no dust is blocking it. I hope this helps.
